No Prague venue history either side. Data has some ordering quirks; leaning on ELO + surface + fatigue rather than raw labels.

Totals: model over_prob 0.538 @20.5 vs market line 21.0 → no edge, pass. Handicap A +2.5 @1.99 attractive but no model line; winner edge is the story → take ML. VERDICT: BET A (Timofeeva) ML @2.38 (Betfair), 1.5u. Underdog clay value: ELO 0.55 vs market 0.42, surface edge + favorite fatigue confirm. ═══════════════════════════════════════════════
